2 Kings 18:24-26

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

²⁴ How then can you beat back one captain among the least of my master’s servants, when your trust is put in Egypt for chariots and horsemen?

²⁵ Have I come up without the Lord against this place to destroy it? The Lord said to me, Go up against this land and destroy it.

²⁶ Then Eliakim son of Hilkiah and Shebna and Joah said to the Rabshakeh, We pray you, speak to your servants in the Aramaic (Syrian) language, for we understand it; and do not speak to us in the Jews’ language in the hearing of the people on the wall.
